Hi!

P(A|B) means the probability A will happen given B has happened. P(AnB) is the probability both will happen, and P(B) is the probability B will happen.

You can figure out a formula from that, but here's the generally accepted one:

P(A|B) = P(AnB) / P(B)

P(AnB) = 5/7
P(B) = 7/8

Substitute values in:

P(A|B) = 5/7 / 7/8

P(A|B) = 5/7 * 8/7

P(A|B) = 40/49

You can multiply 2/3 by 2/2 to get 4/6. This means that x=4!!!

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

That angle looks like a reflex angle

Step-by-step explanation:

I think D is the answer, since Reflex angles are ALWAYS be more than 180 and less than 360

State the horizontal asymptote of the rational function. For full credit, explain the reasoning you used to find the horizontal

Rzqust [24]

So here are the rules of horizontal asymptotes:

Degree of Numerator > Degree of Denominator: No horizontal asymptote
Degree of Numerator = Degree of Denominator: $y=\frac{\textsf{leading coefficient of numerator}}{\textsf{leading coefficient of denominator}}$
Degree of Numerator < Degree of Denominator: y = 0

Looking at the rational function, since the degree of the numerator is 2 and the degree of the denominator is 1 (and 2 > 1), this means that <u>this function has no horizontal asymptote.</u>
